Hi,

I'm trying to write the month name from number. I have done. But month's name is English. I want to change the name to Turkish.

In [35]: m = calendar.month_name[3]

In [36]: m

Out[36]: 'March'

Can you help me?

That's got nothing to do with Django, FWIW. If you go see the documentation[0]
it says:

How do you set the current locale?

with locale.setlocale:

>>> import calendar, locale
>>> calendar.month_name[1]
'January'
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, 'fr_fr')
'fr_fr'
>>> calendar.month_name[1]
'janvier'
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, 'tr_TR')
'tr_TR'
>>> calendar.month_name[1]
'Ocak'

I would, however, recommend against that as setlocale is not
thread-safe. Instead, I'd use Babel[1] as it does not require
altering global state:

>>> import babel.dates
>>> babel.dates.get_month_names()[1]
u'January'
>>> babel.dates.get_month_names(locale='fr_fr')[1]
u'janvier'
>>> babel.dates.get_month_names(locale='tr_TR')[1]
u'Ocak'
